Emotional Support Dog

[Tim Czarkowski]

I had someone send an obviously fake certificate for an"Emotional Support Animal" and of course it was for a pit bull. In fact my assistant found the website selling the exact one for $35. What am I legally allowed to do? I approved someone who had applied before her but if she met all my other requirements, what would I be able to do I? I understand airlines now require a letter from a therapist, proof of some kind of training, and they have to be able to call the therapist office and confirm that the letter is real. Am I allowed to do all that?  Anything else I can do?

I've even seen other websites offering basically all of that... I allow dogs in all my apartments but of course not the breeds excluded by my insurance. What happens if a dog that is disallowed from my insurance is a "Emotional Support Animal" and then attacks someone? Am I covered?
